The event began at Sat, 10 Oct 2026 04:14:03 GMT. INGV Italy reports magnitude 6.1, 14.8 km catalog depth, and coordinates 7.474, -80.641.

The catalog location label is Panama; no separate nearest-city field was supplied with this solution. By catalog depth, this is a shallow event. The magnitude-derived energy estimate is 8.91e+13 joules, or about 21,301 tons of TNT equivalent; that calculation describes source energy, not local damage.

The current catalog entry does not include a public felt-report count. No separate intensity or catalog-significance detail is available from this provider record. No official casualty or damage statement is attached to the normalized event evidence.

INGV Italy has not supplied a review status in the normalized record. No station-count, phase-count, residual, gap, or uncertainty fields were supplied in the normalized record. Other agency solutions retained for this same origin are GEOFON GFZ M6.0; USGS Week M6.0; EMSC Global M6.0. These are alternate reported solutions, not additional earthquakes.

The provider record does not carry a tsunami flag at publication time. Magnitude, depth, and location can change as monitoring networks add observations and review the solution.
